We've been hit by Hurricane Irma this week so it's been a bit difficult to get back on task for the work week. Here's a great recipe to try to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with those you love.
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 red onion, sliced (plus additional for serving, if desired)
4 large carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
1 lemon, halved
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Olive oil (about 1 tablespoon), salt, and pepper
For serving: pita bread (or rice or salad); Tzatziki sauce; feta cheese; sliced red onion; sliced olives; sliced tomatoes; lettuce; sliced cucumber
Place chicken in a large Ziploc bag. Drizzle with olive oil. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Add oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic to the bag. Seal the bag, toss to coat the chicken. You can let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (or overnight), or you can just use it right away.
Place onion, carrots, and lemon halves in the bottom of a slow cooker. Top with chicken and herbs from the bag.
Cover and cook on low for about 4-6 hours, or on high for about 2-3 hours. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Chop chicken or shred with a fork before serving.
Pile the chicken on top of pita bread, rice, or salad. Garnish with Tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, olives, and fresh veggies.
Freeze remaining chicken in single serving plastic containers to take out through the week.
